Description
Summary:Space management in building requires the spatial and database of the building. An open source GIS tool is used in this study to develop a web-based space management system of the buildings in the Universiti Teknologi MARA (Perlis) campus. Database management system was used to relate spatial and descriptive data of the buildings and space/room areas of the university. The objectives of the study is i) to develop a web-based system using open source GIS tool, ii) to guide the user identifying the space/area required and iii) to map the building space/room areas available. In this study, the existing template of the Graphical User Interface menu of the open source software is used to help and guide the user to visualize and determine the information of the building space. The preliminary result of the study shows that the spaces and room areas in the building can be mapped out digitally and it can also be made available to be accessed through the web for the resident of the university.
